They look super yummy! 😋 Do I need to get some Carbquick right now??😂 These are pretty good for homemade. I cannot detect a flavor or texture difference. But since this flour is more expensive than I expected and now I'm nervous about alternative flours (after my coconut flour falls) I'm using it 1:1 with regular flour. I have not tried it alone yet. If you decide to get it, please let me know what you think. I need backup.🤣 Edited January 6, 2021 by GreenTealael 1 1 MarvelGirl25 and WishMeSmaller reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvelGirl25 2,168 Posted January 6, 2021 For lunch today I made some avocado toast on Keto bread and topped it with chunk light tuna. Just used fresh lemon juice and salt and pepper for the tuna. I was super hungry and made two but one did the job. 6 Starwarsandcupcakes, STLoser, Arabesque and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa LoVuolo 63 Posted January 6, 2021 No I still have not bought one but I don't think this is one of those things that would work in an air fryer, its loose ingredients . can you make falafel or meat balls in an air fryer? If so maybe it would work... Disclaimer: I pan fry foods, olive oil, grape seed oil, etc. I never intended to give that up, ever...I have an air frier ovenSent from my U693CL using BariatricPal mobile app 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is honestly life-changing. I just made some amazing garlic parmesan carrot chips in the air fryer tonight. I used the air fryer a lot more before my surgery because it's really good for frozen fries and anything breaded, which I don't eat anymore, but it's also awesome for cooking meat (you can air-fry fantastic chicken wings without any oil), roasting veggies, reheating stuff, etc. You can definitely air-fry meatballs, and I've never made falafel, but Google shows tons of air fryer falafel recipes, so I'd say that's also a yes. I almost never use my toaster oven anymore because the air fryer does almost everything better. I have this one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX9T6HF But I bought it a couple of years ago, so there are probably better ones on the market now. 2 STLoser and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
